Excel spreadsheet

Word documents with references.

The technology that the students will use includes:

web pages with helpful, relevant information

software that will allow them to produce creative, interesting, meaningful presentations and accompanying papers.

Comparing Weather Patterns Project:

The purpose of the weather project is for students to compare temperatures and weather patterns in two different cities with similar climates and features, and tell why temperatures are so similar based on location, sea level, land features, and any other characteristics of the area that would affect temperatures.

The students are required to contact a meteorologist in one of the two cities either via email or phone and request pertinent information that will help them determine the reason for the temperatures and patterns plus, they will need the temperatures in those areas for the past two years.

Students will be using the NOAA’s National Weather Service website to collect the necessary information.

The final paper should include:

copies of the slides used in the presentation

a graph of the next week’s temperature predictions.

The students are encouraged to save their work on a disk or flash drive or email the entire project to the teacher in lieu of actual paper in order to maintain the integrity of the information and presentation.

Students are also encouraged to videotape or record their presentation for accurate grading.

Standards:

This project meets the requirements for eighth grade appropriate skills standards in Georgia under S8CS5 and the National Educational Technology Standards 1, 2, 4 and 6 (See Resources).
